After the condemned man had fin
lshed making a few remarks. his
hands were pinioned behind him. the
black cap drawn over his head, and
the rope cut, giving him fall Of
seven feet. After hanging II min
utes Coroner Mobley pronounced life
extinct. The body was taken down
and given to the friends of Jones,
who took it to Kingston for burial.
While Jones did not literally set
lire to the Jail, it is we'll known
fact he carried matches in the jall
concealed in his hair, and with a
drawn knife stood over Thornton
Davis and compelled him to fire the
building. He likewise threatened
the other prisoners, his idea being
to make them all his accomplices in
the crime. Davis is now iu the
Penitentiary, where he is serving a
life sentence for murder.
Ferdinand Edwards, the murder
ed woman's husband, who escaped
in the previous Jail break, is believ.
ed to be out west.s His right leg is
cut off below the knee; he was con-
victed of murder.
Gus. Logan and Thos. Gladney,
whom Jones refers to above, were
not killed, but wounded, and not
seriously. Logan is now in the
Penitentiary for burglary.

/ On their adjournment, the Grand
Jury made the following report:
Hon. r. c. Dreao, Judge Of the End
district Court: We, the Grand
jury, respectfully report that we
hyepassed upon all matters brought
hfore us. We have presented ~
bills and ignored seven. Of the bills
presented, about two-thirds are for
carving concealed weapons. One
charge we have not been able to
act upon in consequence of being
unable to get the witnesses before
nj The accused is out on bond
Werequest the District Attorney
iofIe an information against him,
illegal evidence is presented to him.
Tom Johnson is in Jail, but under
what charge, and by whom CON-
mitted, we are not advised. We
suggest that the District Attorney
Investigate the matter, and take
such steps as the public good re-
quires.
Ne desire to call to the especial
attention of the Justices of the
Peace the Importance of sending up
to the District Court, before each
term, all papers in criminal matters.
Saeb action on their part will assist
The Grand Jury in the discharge of
rs duty, aud save costs to the par
sh.
Complaint is made to us that
saIne Of the Justices of the Peace
are allowing matters compromised
Without warrant of law, and of such
magnitude as to deserve the attic n.
lion Of this Court.
The public roads generally are in
miserable condition. Some of
laem have not been worked for
more than twelve months; yet no
rad official has been reported to us.
We fnd the public offices in good
condition, and the public records
we'll cared for.

Catarrh, Catarrhal Deafness and BAY
Fever-A New Treatment.
From the Mail fCanl Dee 18Th

From the Mail CAM, Dec. 15th.l
Catarrh is muco-purulent discharge
caused by the presence and development of
vegetable parasite in the internal lining
membrane of the nose. This parasite is
only developed under favorable circum-
stances and these are Morbid state of the
blood as the blighted corpuscle of tubercle
the germ poison of mercury, toxomea,
from the retention of the effete matter of
the skin, suppressed perspiration, badly
ventilated sleeping apartments and other
poisons that are terminated in the blood
These poisons keep the internal lining
membrane of the nose in a constant state
of irritation, ever ready for the deposit of
the seeds of these germs, which spread up
the nostrils and down the fauces or back
of the throat, causing liberation of the
throat up the custodian tubes. causing
deafness; burrowing in the vocal cords.
causing hoarseness; usurping the proper
structure of The bronchial tubes, ending IN
pulmonary consumption and death.
Many attempts have been made to cure
this distressing disease by the use of inhal-
ents, medicated vapors and other ingenious
devices, but none of these treatments can
do particle of good until the parasites
are either destroyed or removed from the
mucus tissue.
Some time since well-known physician
of forty years standing, after much expert
menting, succeeded in discovering the
necessary combination of ingredients
which never fail in absolutely and perma-
nently graduating this horrible disease,
whether standing Tor one year or forty
years. Those who may be suffering from
the above disease should. without delay,
communicate with Mr.. Dixon, ST., of the
firm of A. H. Dixon & Son, Toronto, Can
ada, who is on a short visit to this Coast,
and can be consulted at the Golden Eagle
Hotel, Sacramento, every Wednesday even

A SPECIAL TRoT.
Block of Land in Dispute.

Suit was commenced in the Superior
Court yesterday by Charlotte A. Drew and
her husband, n. L. Drew, through their
attorneys, Beatty, benson & Oatman and
A. l.. Hart, to recover possession of block
No. l, in Brannan's Addition to the CITY.
Several years ago Mr. Drew's financial cir
cumstances became Strengthened, and he
eventually borrowed from Mr. Clunie SIS
600 with which to pay an indebtedness.
giving the block and its Improvements as
security for the amount, and also for an
additional s.. 800 due the firm of Curtis &,
Clunie for legal services performed Sub
sequently it was arranged that the land
should be transferred to Mrs Drew as her
individual property, and in December,
1892, she had kept the interest on the
me- ney paid upand had also paid $500 up n
the principal reducing it TO $4,000. A
written agreement was then entered into
between her and Mr. Clunie, whereby it
was stipulated that she was to pay the in
debtedness in monthly installments OF
$500, also paying taxes, repairs, etc. She
claims that she has now paid the entire
sum, but Clunie refuses to transfer the
property to her, alleging that there is por-
ton of the principal yet due, besides
money expended for taxes, assessments
etc. For this reason she prays the Court
for an accounting, that the true condition
of affairs may be established.

KEEP OFF THE GRASS.
How the Guardians of Capital Park Deal
with HOodlums.

WILL I1oOutuIns.
In selecting police officers for Capitol
Park, Secretary of State Hendricks had
two things in view-speed and muscle. He
selected as one well-known sprinter, and
for the other man who could stand up
for week before John L.-that is, couple
of yards distant. The Splinter came to
grief the other day While chasing some
hoodlums from the Park he sprained
tendon in enc of his legs. The Secretary
of State has sent for a bicycle, and in few
days this blue-coated guardian of the peace
will be seen perambulating the grounds at
all hours of the day and night on his
silent steed"
The cop" with the muscle has become
a holy terror to the loungers and loafers
that hung around the Capitol Yesterday
he noticed four dirty looking ragamuffins
summing themselves on the grass, and dig
ging their heels in the terraces as they
quietly pulled away at cigarettes, and
stared out of countenance passing ladies.
The big policeman" approached and
pleasantly asked them to move on, so the
gardeners could disinfect the grass upon
which they had been resting. One Young
man, who had all the appearance of a con.
frmed opium fend, was inclined to be
saucy, and used language not found in
Webster. The policeman went away. saw
ing he would give them just five minutes
to make themselves scarce. At the ex-
piration of that time he returned. and
the aforesaid opium fend opened
upon him with a flood of Billinsgate that
made the atmosphere blue and the statuary
on the roof of the Capitol blush. "Wiil
you move on ?" said the stalwart. Meow.
won't move on, and l would like to see
any -- like you make me, either"
You would, would you?" said the
muscled official, as he seized the miserable
piece of humanity by one of his legs, lust
above the ankle, and commenced swing.
ing him around his body. After turning
several times and getting a good mo.
mentum to the outstretched dude. the
policeman let go his hold and the Young
man shot off at tangent, like a stone
hurled from catapult. He rose some fif-
teen feet in the air, cleared the stone car
riage-way and came down on all fours ON
the graveled walk. As the contemplate
cur picked himself up and hurried away,
the officer yelled after him: Don't tell
me can't get move on you" He then
turned to pay his respects to the fellows
companions, but they had skipped.

Artesian Water at Norman.

Boring for artesian water was COM
menced by n. D. Rideout at Norman, Co.
lusa county, some time since, and the work
has been crowned with success. At a
depth of between 800 and 900 feet water was
struck which flows to the surface and rises
about one foot above in a six-inch stream
Boring is to be continued with the expecta-
ton of getting much higher flow. Mr..
Rideout has about $4,000 acres of land in a
body at the point where he has made the
successful find OF flowing water, and if he
should be rewarded by obtaining as great a
supply for irrigation purposes as he desires,
the increase in the value of bis lands will
amount to a small fortune. The impor-
lance to Colusa county, also, of finding
flowing water in that section of usually
quite light rainfall cannot be over-esti-
mated. 1t is to be hoped that an ample
supply for that entire region may be OBJ
tanned

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
Not Anxious.

Billy Mclaughlin states that he will not
dispute in Court the injunction served upon
him by Andy Piercy, restraining him from
playing ball with any other League except
that with which Percy is connected, de-
claring that he does not care to undertake
the expense-that there is not enough in
baseball here to make it worth while
Several legal gentlemen of this city declare
that there is nothing in the Codes that au-
thorizes the enjoining of a person from
changing his place Of employment or OBJ
tanning for his personal services as much
as he possibly can, and, such being the
case, the cost of defending the suit would
not be very severe. The Atlas need all the
good players they can muster, and Nc
Laughlin's loss will be severely felt. With
him, and some of the men they have now,
a couple of good batters being added, they
would yet be able to make lively contest
for supremacy. They were very badly be-
hind for several games last spring, but, as
they gained practice, acquired good posi-
